workshopBuilding Your Own Kubernetes Operator (Advanced)

Kubernetes Operators extend the Kubernetes API through CustomResourceDefinitions, enabling users to create, configure and manage applications. They are software that encapsulates the operational knowledge of a human operator. Projects like etcd, Prometheus and Rook have built operators to make managing their software simpler. But can you as a Developer, Sysadmin, or SRE on a small team reuse these ideas to build software that streamlines and automates your own processes? In this workshop we will introduce you to some of the patterns that are used in operators. Then we will split into small teams to work on a challenge to build your own simple operator.
